Magnus Carlsen lost his lead in round 11 after being defeated by Viswanathan Anand. The game could have turned out differently as he launched a dangerous attack on Viswanathan Anand and missed chances both to gain the advantage (25.Rc3) and later gain a probable draw before Anand's king escaped. Anand also moved up into joint second place half a point behind the leader.

Levon Aronian beat Loek Van Wely in a sharp Slav Defence. At one stage it looked like Van Wely may have the edge but once his queen went defence was difficult if not impossible.

Teimour Radjabov also moved into joint second after beating Boris Gelfand. Radjanov gained the advantage after Gelfand's dubious 22.Nc7? and could have finished things off with 29...Nh5 but his Ne8 allowed Gelfand back into the game for him only to blunder on move 35 allowing an easy win.

Veselin Topalov and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov played an interesting King's Indian where manoevering dominated and the players called it off as a draw just after first time control.

Peter Leko was the next person to try and over come Vladimir Kramnik's Petroff Defence. Kramnik seems to have this variation mastered and there was not the slightest prospect of Leko gaining the advantage. In the end he allowed Kramnik to give perpetual.

The battle of the two strugglers ended in a first win for Pavel Eljanov. Polgar lost the initiative in the opening and was left with virtually no plan in the face of a dangerous Kingside attack which Eljanov need no invitation to prosecute.

Sergei Movsesian leads the B Group by half a point from Nigel Short and Etienne Bacrot. Short seems in goo form after beating Chaparinov but today he was in trouble against the faultering Jan Smeets. Smeets has blown a number of good positions in recent rounds and Short found some rather cheeky defensive moves which probably shouldn't have worked but allowed him to get back in the game and win at the first time control.
